(Medical-NewsWire.com, January 08, 2015 ) Portland, Oregon -- A rumored drawback associated with the use of glucosamine is hair loss. There are those who take glucosamine supplements, especially arthritis sufferers, that have reported hair loss while using the natural alternative. However, researchers now say that these recent claims are not true.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, glucosamine does not cause adverse effects such as hair loss. Many individuals who are suffering from arthritis are experiencing hair loss, but it may potentially be due to a variety of other factors.
"Glucosamine supplements are widely used as a great pain relief option for many arthritis sufferers. It is well known for its therapeutic benefits," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Experts believe that there are underlying factors that should be considered in determining the cause of hair loss experienced by men and women. These factors include hormonal imbalances, heredity, malnutrition and medication. Studies have not found any proof at all to validate that hair loss is caused by glucosamine intake.
The National Institutes of Health also stated that hair loss can be caused by some autoimmune disorders, which cause inflammation. Similarly, joint paint can also be caused by inflammation from the occurrence of autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Health professionals suggest that individuals who are relying on glucosamine supplements to achieve pain relief should not stop using the natural alternative just because of their fear of losing hair. It is important to note that there are many possible causes of hair loss. Some surveys conducted even showed that many people who experience hair loss are suffering from certain medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, high blood cholesterol and depression.
Natural alternatives such as glucosamine are believed to be very efficient in promoting overall joint health. Not only do they provide pain relief for arthritis sufferers, but also have a number of other health benefits.
Those who want to take advantage of these powerful health benefits should see to it that they choose the right glucosamine product. It is also best that consumers select a product that contains other ingredients aside from glucosamine such as MSM, turmeric and chondroitin (www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
